2025 Wiesenhummel

The meadow bumblebee goes where the flowers are. Bacchus — aromatic, floral, unapologetically fragrant — was an obvious match. With the 2025 vintage, our Bacchus Pétillant Naturel got a name and a new label to go with it.

Bacchus is a beautiful, slightly aromatic variety, but a difficult one: susceptible to sunburn, frost and disease, yields change considerably from year to year. When it works out, it’s a joy to work with.

About a third of the grapes ferment on the skins for around a week; the rest is pressed directly. We blend both portions and bottle with 9 g/l of residual sugar left in the juice — enough to finish fermentation in the bottle.
